Essentially a handheld version of the Master System, Sega's Game Gear was a powerful handheld with a colour screen that never really came close to competing with the Game Boy, wasn't as innovative as the Lynx, but still managed to get itself some fantastic games and has gracefully aged. Happily, you can grab one along with some extremely handy accessories via this Sega Game GeareBay auction.

The console on offer is new in its box, as are the battery pack, the Game Genie, and the Gear-to-Gear cable. The Master Gear Converter that's part of the bundle is unboxed, but I suppose that's okay, as playing Master System cartridges on the go is still highly enjoyable.

Lemmings is one of the finest games ever created, and you should probably own every version of it ever produced. Even for consoles and systems you never owned, and definitely for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.

It's the US/NTSC edition of the game you'll be bidding on, and it apparently comes complete in its box with cartridge, poster, and manual. As an added bonus, you'll also be getting the Universal Adapter allowing you to play NTSC games on PAL consoles.
